I hate myself for even throwing this play in tonight. The Hawks routinely let me down...but it's the right play tonight. They have alternated wins and losses over the past week and a half...but more importantly the Raptors have sucked without Bargnani, and now it's looking like Rudy G.ay will not be able to go tonight. Hawks were able to hang with the Pacers for the most part, just fell a little bit short.

Prediction: Hawks 98 Raptors 89

Just my 2 cents: The raptors have sucked, no denying that; managing to win only 3 games SU/ATS in the month of March. Seems like a let down spot for ATL at -3. Hawks obviously don't want to draw Miami in the playoffs, and beat out the bucks twice last week. As you mentioned, they hung in with the Pacers, albeit it wasn't their starters and they did trail by double digits most of the game; but they do own a home court season split against them. With Boston coming up, there's also a look ahead as well, interpret Atlanta's seeding objectives it as you see fit. Additionally, happy was at shoot arounds today and may likely suit up. Leaning Toronto on this one, but hard to back a team dead last in the atlantic.

CMJ, I am on the Celtics tonight just to win. I know they are a poor road team and have lost 5 straight, and KG a Lee are out but after last nights debacle the talk around the team today was to not turn the ball over (20 last night) and more production from the bench. I think they get both tonight

Tried to talk myself out of this pick all day...but the Celtics are falling backwards quickly, and veteran teams get the job done on the road. Celtics do best when their backs are against the wall, and they are 4-0 ATS in their last four B2B games.

I really really really really smell a 1-2 point victory for the Celtics tonight. Game winning shot type of status. Can't trust them obviously to go on the road on a b2b and win, let alone cover a spread. By far the most up and down team all year is the Celtics...they love their streaks whether they are good or bad. My strongest lean in this game is the UNDER. Only way it goes over the total IMO is if it goes into OT, which is possible.
